Blood Orange Studios was originaly created as a permanent home and rehearsal/recording space for the band The Blood Orange Project. Hidden away inside the un-assuming studios of KTOX 1340AM Radio in Needles, California sits a full production studio and rehearsal area complete with control room monitoring and P/A. At the heart of the system is a state of the art computer custom built by ADK Pro Audio ( http://www.adkproaudio.com/ ), the same company that built the recording systems for U2's Vertigo World Tour. You cant find a better recording system in the area. The studios are now open for artists in the Tri-State to record their Demo's in a professional environment without paying the price of traveling to Vegas or Pheonix.
